This will be my last entry for a while because we are moving. God has blessed with an answer to prayer. A house in the neighborhood (really only three houses down) has opened up for rent. After lots of prayer, seeking advice and a little negotiating, the landlord chose us (there were two other people interested in the house).
Part of the agreement was that we move this weekend (today we get the keys) so some things, such as telephone and internet, will take awhile to get moved/installed to our new house. When Gera talked to the companies, they said 8 working days for the phone line and then they would notify the internet division to come and move the connection so who knows how long that will be.
Unfortunately, since everything has happend in about 10 days time, I don't have any pictures to share with you, but I'll try to paint one in your mind.
It has a one car garage (yeah!!! no more storing it a block away) and the front entrance is to the left of the garage. Stepping through the door, you enter a small formal living room area that has enough space for our two red chairs and the book shelf. Behind that is the kitchen area where the table will fit nicely. One down to the house is the lack of storage space (ie. cabinets and countertops) so we will have to be creative in making the kitchen work. There are two hallways that go back off the kitchen. The one of the right leads to two bedrooms with a bathroom between them. Both bedrooms have a nice sized window and good closet space. Between the bedrooms is a fairly spacious bathroom. The hallway to the left leads back into a familyroom/patio/yard area. There is a ample area that is roofed, but not walled in from the yard. To the left of the yard is a patch of grass (I can plant!), in the middle is a spiral staircase that leads upstairs, and to the right is the area for the washer. Upstairs there are two smaller bedrooms and a smaller, full bathroom.
I have to go pack now, the next time I get a chance, I'll share the amazing story of how we got this place!
Take care and we love you all!
